What female Bible name is only mentioned twice in the Bible?

Answer

Salome is only mentioned twice in the Bible, both times in Mark's Gospel, after the crucifixion of Jesus. Her name is the feminine form of "shalom", which means complete, whole, content, safe, healthy, prosperous, and peace......

Mark 15:40 (NKJV) There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome,

Mark 16:1 (NKJV) Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.

Extension of above answer:

Don't, however, be confused by the person named Salome above. This is not the 'Salome' the step-daughter of Herod who danced the Dance of the Seven Veils for Herod asking for the head of John the Baptist as a reward. Although traditionally the daughter is called Salome, nowhere in the Bible is Herod's stepdaughter named, nor does it say that she performed the 7-veil dance or even an early form of striptease for him. This is a modern invention made popular by oscar Wilde's play and Strauss' opera. It merely states that Herod's stepdaughter danced for him, asking for the head of John the Baptist as a reward, with which Herod, after rashly promiing her anything, had to comply. The Salome mentioned in the Bible is in all probability a relative of Mary the mother of Jesus
